If it's like my wife's Smart car it means it's 8 day's overdue.

Why it showed -6 yesterday, will depend what time ofr day it was serviced I guess.

Drive it too long an you may invalidate any warranty. I'd just book it in for a service next week. Continue to drive it normally in the meantime.

Lofty's A Class pages tell you how to reset the clock.
www.aclassinfo.co.uk
You do it with the temp / mileage button - press this, then that, blink twice, whistle and press again.
